The Coronavirus pandemic has affected all of us in one way or another. Some of those hardest hit have been children. Throughout Colorado, grade-school children have been forced to cope in a ‘new normal’ in education, complete with virtual classrooms, augmented teaching schedules, and even significantly reduced school meal programs.
